ADF4360-3BCP

Overview

The ADF4360-3 is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for a center frequency of 1750 MHz. It operates within an output frequency range of 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz, with a divide-by-2 option providing 800 MHz to 975 MHz. The device supports a 3-wire serial interface and functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable charge pump current ranging from 0.312 mA to 2.5 mA.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO covering 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Low phase noise performance: -110 dBc/Hz typ at 100 kHz offset
• 3-wire serial interface with 1.8 V logic compatibility

Applications

• Wireless handsets (DECT, GSM, PCS, DCS, WCDMA)
• Test equipment
• Wireless LANs
• CATV equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the exposed pad connection requirements are met during assembly to ensure proper analog ground referencing and thermal management.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate prescaler value (8/9, 16/17, or 32/33) based on the required frequency resolution and maximum VCO frequency. Ensure the reference input sensitivity matches the source signal amplitude, as the REFIN pin requires AC coupling for optimal operation within the specified voltage ranges.

Part Context

The ADF4360-3 belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. This specific variant is optimized for the 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz band, distinguishing it from other family members designed for different frequency ranges such as 2500 MHz or 1200 MHz bands.
